Fort Worth Stockyards

Fort Worth is one of the best places to experience the romance
and mystique of the American Wild West, and the Stockyards National
Historic District is the ideal starting point. The district
encompasses 15 blocks packed full of exciting 'cowtown'
attractions, from rodeos to cattle drives, country music shows,
shops selling genuine cowboy gear, saloons and Texan diners, and
the 'Tarantula Train' steam railway on which regular re-enactments
of a train robbery are performed.

The Stockyard District is also the venue for several annual
festivals and western events and home to the world-famous Billy
Bob's Honky Tonk, a giant (three acre) country music club
comprising an indoor rodeo, a massive dance floor, many bar
counters, cafes and restaurants, and a general store. Further
attractions in the district include the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame,
the Jersey Lilly Old-time Photo Parlour, the Fort Worth Stockyards
Stables, and the Stockyards Museum. The area also offers plenty of
barbecue restaurants and steakhouses.
